Schabbes Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 Hi everyone, The library is closed next week (excrementum sacrum-holy crap or how would a Roman swear?), and i have some questions left. I need info on Q. Fabius Pictor (the writer and painter) and L. Aelius Tubero (the one who didn't like Caesar too much). Can you tell me which magistracies these guys held? Were the Aelii (Tuberones) a family of the nobility with consuls among them? And the Fabii- i take it they were a family of highest renown - were they patricians or plebeians?

Publius Nonius Severus Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 Here is the entry from Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology on The Fabius Pictor clan: Pictor Make sure you click on the next page as well. This will give you a basic overview and cites to the ancient sources for further review. Here is the same source for the Aelius Tubero Clan: Tubero Again be sure to click on the next page, etc. These should get you started...who needs libraries...we got teh internets?
